Strong Enhancement of Electromagnetic Shower Development in Oriented Scintillating Crystals and Implications for Particle Detectors
Mattia Soldani, Pietro Monti-Guarnieri, Alessia Selmi +31
A particle traversing a crystal aligned with one of its crystallographic axes experiences a strong electromagnetic field that is constant along the direction of motion over macrosc…
R&D on a high-performance electromagnetic calorimeter based on oriented crystalline scintillators
M. Soldani, N. Argiolas, L. Bandiera +36
Although inorganic scintillators are widely used in the design of electromagnetic calorimeters for high-energy physics and astrophysics, their crystalline nature and, hence, their…
High-Precision Alignment Techniques for Realizing an Ultracompact Electromagnetic Calorimeters Using Oriented high-Z Scintillator Crystals
Lorenzo Malagutti, Alessia Selmi, Laura Bandiera +29
Electromagnetic calorimeters used in high-energy physics and astrophysics rely heavily on high-Z inorganic scintillators, such as lead tungstate (PbWO4 or PWO). The crystalline str…
Coherent radiation in axially oriented industrial-grade tungsten crystals: A viable path for an innovative γ-rays and positron sources
N. Canale, M. Romagnoni, A. Sytov +18
It is known that the alignment of an high-energy e- beam with specific crystal directions leads to a significant increase of the coherent radiation emission. This enhancement can b…
Particle identification capability of a homogeneous calorimeter composed of oriented crystals
Pietro Monti-Guarnieri, Laura Bandiera, Nicola Canale +23
Recent studies have shown that the electromagnetic shower induced by a high-energy electron, positron or photon incident along the axis of an oriented crystal develops in a space m…
